It is critically important that proper air pressure is always maintained in pneumatictires.Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result inlossof control,and overinflated tires may burst. Failure to always maintain the air pressureratingindicated on pneumatic tires may result in tire and/or wheel failure.
Inflate your tires from a regulated air source with an available pressure gauge. Inflatingyour tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resultinginabursttire.Even tires equipped with built-in flat- preventative tire liners can and doget flatsfrompunctures, pinches, impact, and other causes. When tire wear becomes evident oraflattire is discovered, you must replace the tires and/or tubes before operatingthebikeorinjury to operators and/or damage to your bike could occur.
